concrete slab

Breaking up a concrete slab, such as an old concrete driveway, is not a task you should enter into lightly. But with a bit of planning, and the right tools, it can be done by almost anyone will to put in the hard work.

Before erecting a shed or greenhouse, it is a very good idea to lay down a pad of concrete for it to sit on. This serves not only to give the shed/greenhouse a firm footing, but will also help to reduce moisture seeping up from the ground into the timber.
